History
The station first started out as KMWT in 1970, with an unknown format. In 1981, the call letters were changed to KYXS as a country music station. In 2002, the station made its permanent switch to KFWR, bringing listeners a country radio station with a blend of Texas country, current country hits, and country classics. On May 1, 2008, the station dropped most of the current country hits in favor of "totally 100% TEXAS country music."
The Ranch radio format can also be heard on KRVF, 106.9, Corsicana, Texas, and KRVA-FM, 107.1, Sulphur Springs, Texas.
